Ballin’: Celtics Take Game 7 Under Specific Direction From TBL
NBA May 3rd. 2009, 10:50am
Celtics 109, Bulls 99: TBL somehow stole Marty’s sports almanac or hitched a ride with Faraday and nailed the exact score of this one. And my inevitable jinx worked, as the game was far from a blowout and much closer than the score would indicate. The Celtics flirted with pulling away for good, and it felt like they were taking control, particularly after holding Chicago to 11 points in the second quarter, but they kept letting the Bulls hang around.
Key moment: With a shade less than 30 seconds to go, and the Bulls down six, Hinrich stole the inbounds pass and kicked it out to Ben Gordon and, for a quick moment, it felt a little like Travis Best’s steal/deflection to Reggie. But Gordon missed, and that was that. Game over.
The Celtics get one day of rest before welcoming the Magic and Dwight Howard’s elbow to town on Tuesday night.

Ugh. That picture describes my feelings toward the people of Boston!

I saw a license plate that was a play on the term “when pigs fly” and it read: PIGSFLU
pretty funny.

Big deal. You know how many soccer and hockey scores I’ve gotten right without ever even watching either sport?
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:27 AM
Thats how Boston won last year, the Big 3 (2) suck but some combination of House/Perkins/Davis/(insert scrub) puts up 20 on 6-6 or 7-8 shooting and they ugly up a win.
Ben Gordon is a chucker, now way I give him the money he wants.

Years ago it was said pigs would fly before a black president would be elected, 100 days after Obama is elected…swine flu

Not hard to guess 1-0 or 2-3
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:37 AM
Thanks for explaining the joke SuperAndy. You’re right, it is funnier when it’s all spelled out for us.
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:41 AM
Because those are common scores, right?
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:42 AM
WTF are you talking about? those are 2 different fucking things. go fuck your mother. Dont talk to me.
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:43 AM
They aren’t?
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:45 AM
I’ve met some stupid people in my life. SuperAndy might just be No. 1 on that list…
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:46 AM
Are they?
/gives knowing look

This should lighten the mood. It should really be the theme song for Big Lead commenters.
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:49 AM
Even if you guess 1-0, you still have to get the teams correct.
Right!?!
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:53 AM
Right!?!?!??!!?
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:55 AM
You never met me Dawkins. I don’t talk to people beneath me.
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:58 AM
Right!??!!??!?
May 3rd, 2009 at 11:59 AM
That’s the sad thing Andy. Just from the comments you’ve posted, I can tell you’re the one who tutored Vince Young for the Wonderlic…
May 3rd, 2009 at 12:00 PM
1-0 is a lot A LOT different from guessing 99-109
You act like it’s the samething and it’s not, it’s not even close.

My IQ is higher than your entire family combined

FACT

That cuts deep Andy. You’re also the athlete none of us could ever be.
Did everyone know that Andy won 14 straight DARTS championships?? True story.
May 3rd, 2009 at 12:11 PM
It is true. You think everyone on this planet is a loser like you are? Some of us actually do things with our lives instead of sit on here and run their fucking mouth to no end while you sit in your mothers basement.
SuperAndy is done with you. You’re dismissed. You are now banned from talking to me.
May 3rd, 2009 at 12:12 PM
SuperAndy, Hef accidentally left off the sarcasism tag.
May 3rd, 2009 at 12:19 PM
You’re right. If only I could get out of my mother’s basement and become a darts legend like you, my life would be complete.
Did you just refer to yourself in the third person? I guess it’s only fitting for a heroic athlete like yourself.
SuperAndy > Jesus

Uh…you’re the commenter who’s posted most frequently in this thread. You’re also the one who’s been “running thier fucking mouth” (see above quote for proof). Go figure.

i’ll become a huge orlando magic fan monday.
May 3rd, 2009 at 12:51 PM
why do you hate the celtics so much?
May 3rd, 2009 at 1:58 PM
Because they are the Celtics. It’s easy.
May 3rd, 2009 at 2:17 PM
To quote that great orator Ron White, “you can’t fix stupid.”
May 3rd, 2009 at 2:19 PM
The real question is, why don’t you hate the Celtics that much?
May 3rd, 2009 at 2:28 PM
Because I’ve liked them since the days of PP and ‘toine. My favorite player is also on the team now, KG.
May 3rd, 2009 at 2:40 PM
I’ve been hating them since Paul Pierce was in elementary school.
My hate >> your like
May 3rd, 2009 at 3:10 PM
I’ve been hating them since most of you were born.
